Meet the faces of our campaign, More than “Just an Itch”
Our campaign video wouldn’t have been possible without Hannah, Callum, Monica, Jack and Emily. You can watch their full stories below.
Living with eczema can be an emotional rollercoaster. From the constant itching and discomfort to the visible marks it leaves, individuals with eczema face not only physical but also emotional hurdles. Our new campaign video, More Than “Just an Itch” highlights the emotions, frustrations, and true impact of five remarkable individuals as they navigate their journeys with eczema.

By sharing these personal stories, our campaign video aims to raise awareness about the psychological impact of eczema. It’s a reminder that eczema is not just a physical condition; it’s a complex journey that can affect self-esteem, mental health, and overall well-being. Through these stories, we hope to inspire empathy and understanding for those living with eczema while encouraging open conversations about mental health and skin conditions.
More Than “Just an Itch” is not just a campaign video; it’s a heartfelt exploration of the psychology behind eczema. It gives people outside the eczema community the opportunity to walk in the shoes of those who bravely face this condition every day and showcases the strength, resilience, and hope that can be found amidst the challenges.
